[meteorite-list] "Sussex man hit by meteorite"

G'Day Tom and List
Actually he's a cricket fan, somebody facing off could have picked it up
and slammed it with their cricket bat to get it out of the way. 

Cheers
John

Hi Tom & all,
        Unfortunately, there are four factors strongly working Against
the likelihood of this actually being a meteorite:
1) In the photo the specimen appears to have rust marks - not
A possibility for a fresh fall.
2) There appeared to be no matrix vs fusion crusted outer portion
3) It seems most unlikely a meteorite would split in two after hitting
    A lawn covered field
4) I hear it is extremely common for every manor of thing to be  thrown
at soccer matches.
        I would love to be wrong.
        Michael
